Second Place in Maiden - Dog, Judge: Libby Wain (Itsaso)
I would like to thank the committee for inviting me to Judge their open show, the hospitality was fantastic. I would also all the exhibitors who entered allowing me the pleasure of going over their dogs. My stewards done an amazing job keeping the ring flowing throughout the day. Overall the quality of the entry was good; however my one observation is that we are beginning to lose correct front movement, with wide fronts or flicking at the pasterns creeping in.
A grizzle dog who was more mature than 1st of good type and just coming into coat. Typical head and expression with strong jaw and correct bite. He had a straight front and neat feet, with a good topline and tail set. He moved out well around the ring however, I would have liked a bit more drive
